Human

A spirit of flesh warmth blood flows 
Is man whom our steps journey breath 
Living in deception of emotional influence 
We are not without flaw our weakness 
Bury depths, secrets haunt passing days 
We are only human they say; proclaiming 
Are we not more the eyes hunger love 
Beauty of existence take breath away 
Heart flutter as if you ran a race 

Is one like Army, being all you can be 
What establishes concept to your mortal being 
Pride, what once was American standing 
Now stripped by foreign presence of hatred 
Destruction of a nation their actions darken 
Are we to love the other in kindness 
Is good alive in darkness, heart weeps in pain 
In every a life fighting for change 

What is it to be human, do we think 
So much world offers except eternal life 
Peace in beauty, quiet country night sky 
Soul finding relaxation in mist of drama world 
Is soul the life you breathe the struggle 
Know death certain but you give life to exist 
Is it of importance your success prevail 
As for human race which dust returns earth
